For anyone traveling to the UK over Christmas please be aware that there are many strikes going on - rail, nurses, ambulances, post, and now border force at airports.
From the article: “Passport checks at Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff and Birmingham airports will be among those disrupted, the PCS union has said. Days affected will include the period from 23 December to Boxing Day inclusive, and from 28 December to New Year’s Eve.”
Train strikes are usually one day here and there but they are striking more over Christmas.

From the article: “Workers at the UK's biggest rail union RMT will walk out from 6pm on 24 December until 27 December as the row over pay and conditions escalates.”
Here is a handy chart from that BBC article.
